didn't love as much as Vicious

In many ways I LOVED this. But, I have to say that there were A LOT of time jumps in this... like every chapter was bouncing around in different timelines for different characters... like zero parts of this book were linear. In audio format that was really hard to follow, and I just gave up on keeping straight timelines in my head I could only be like "ok this is happening a long time ago" or "ok this is semi recent" but remembering what was 2 years ago or 4 years ago or 5 years ago for like 6 different character's timelines was just impossible. So, I'm not sure if that would be easier in physical copy, but if that is important to you as a reader then be aware.

Annoying Narrator

The narrator uses this whimsy, wavering voices for ALL the women in this book. ANNOYING!

Everyone is a jerk

Am I supposed to be rooting for Victor Vale? He sucks. He broods and complains. And he becomes at least as bad as Eli from book one. He poses the world's biggest false dichotomy--it's us or them-- to justify doing horrible stuff.

So, everyone goes on their way doing terrible things and complaining the whole time. The ladies were interesting because they simply embraced their powers and started living as out and out villains, which was refreshing. But overall, this book didn't satisfy because there's no one to really care about.

Top Tier!

Schwab is one of my favorite authors, and this book showcases many of the reasons for that status. Each character is well formed and believable, and the story moves organically.
The narrator does a great job with this audio book, too

The Villains saga continues and Danger swells

I had the pleasure of completing this book and Vicious back to back and was thoroughly enthralled. This book expands the cast of EOs roaming the streets of Merritt. Their motivations and desire to find meaningful, friendship, family, or power lead them down roads that intersect. This long awaited book was well worth the wait. Thank you V.E.

Great Story in Spite of Mediocre Character Voices

Amazing part 2! I just wish I wasn't so unimpressed with the narrator's female character voices.

Impressive, but not as good as the first book.

For some reason, I just didn't enjoy this one as much as Vicious. It was definitely a different tone, and the character list got a little bloated. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy the book at all, I just think the first book had more in-depth character studies of the main characters, and that is so my jam! There were plenty of good moments in this story, and I enjoyed the ride! Looking forward to the next book when it releases, though I'm told it may be a while.

Entertaining

I loved every part of the book. Well written and kept you on the edge of your seat. Would love to see this made into a movie.

Confusing

Not a great follow up in my opinion. My biggest challenge with the book is that we have 5/6 storylines, and 4/5 timelines. We keep jumping from person to person, 3 weeks ago, 6 months ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, yesterday.. how am I supposed to keep track? I kept having to listen for a few minutes to understand where I was in the story instead of enjoying it..

Other than that, is still entertaining.. and great performance as well by the artist!

Re read worth my credits!

I’ve loved Vicious and Vengeful since I first read them last year, and was so excited to see their audiobooks with the same narration! This narrator is one of my favorites, I can clearly see the scenes so vividly. Keeping these audiobooks forever✨
